what to fly
If you want best value then see what your local PFA lads are up to. You may have to re-adjust your ideas about what you want from your aircraft and what it looks like, but one sure way of getting plenty of hours in is to go for a group share in something on a Permit to Fly. It will also be fun, and improve your flying..
If its a tailwheel type, make sure you have some instruction with someone who knows his stuff, and apply this to how to operate off strips. The PFA handles this via its Pilot Coaching Scheme
Do it now, you won't be sorry. (well, wait for daylight then ! )

You will then discover what its like to feel current
